The trial of Samuel Adams, of Chillicoihe, Ohio, for having ohlnined a large amount of property, estimated at SJ0,-000, by false pretences, from the firm of Messrs. Soydnm, Sage or. Co., of New York, is now going on in the latter city, before the Court of Sessions. Congrfwe The proceedings of Congress up to the evening of the 20lh insl., have been received. But little of iniportanre had transpired during the past week. The House has not yet acted on the Postage Bill of the Senaio, although it is undoubtedly of more importance to tho country, than all the other measures before the present Congress. Several efforts have been made to secure the assent of the House to the appropriation for the National Ilond, hut lh-y have all thus far ken unsuccessful. Yet the anion of tins body has been the su jeci of abundant eulogy, with the locofoco pres; because it his evinced more readiness to consult the in l crust of the knot of slaveholders in Teiai, than the interests of those it was designed to represent.The discussion on Annexation still progresses in the Senate. Messrs. Henderson and Colquitt, the first a Minrittippi Wmo and the other a Georgia locofoco, delivered set speeches on the lytli and Will, in favor ot Annexation. They were followed, in order, by Mr. Harrow, of Louisiana, and Mr. Him-moiis, of Rhode Island, who made very earnest and able efforts against Annesation in every shape but more especially agniuil tbcjn.nt rciotutitn of the House. The House was engaged chicily on the Civil and Diplo matic Mill. An amendment was attached to it in Committee of the Whole, as wc anticipated in Hot urday's Journal, pro-viding for an appropriation of Jo.OOO for repairing and $Ur ftX) f..r rpdimi Jmur the Ptcsidcnl' House. Uirtniu thmn ind. in all) An amendment (appropriating $u'U- for compiling iiioocralion Morse's Magnetic Telegraph, also prevailed. An appropriation (or a new War anil Navy Department, of JUUt-(XXI, was agreed to. An important communication from tlie President was received and reiid in the House, on the subject of the Slave Trade on the coast of Brazil. Tim mesonge was based on a com munication from Henry A. Wise, informing the President that American citizen and Amcrcan vessels were engaged in the slave trnde to a great estent, enimcclcd with British capital ists and brokers. The President denounces in very strong terms this infernal traffic, and expresses the hope that the House will iiuile with him in efforts to suppress il. ftJ ('apt. Polk's Cabinet. TIih important matter is not vet settled b the satisfaction of the patriots wlio surround Mr. Polk Our latest advices leave the Captain almulcqui distant between the two Witte heaps the Old Hunkers, and the "Democratic party of Slaveholder."

The New York Commercial Advertiser, in a lengihv end very ably written editorial article, present thy great question in a in miner thai cannot fail to strike atlrutiun.

Tire Commercial thus stuns up its remarks : Il seems lo us that tliii question, whciherlhc right of slavo representation ihnll he farther extended, is all important lo Oil- free Stale.

But little of iniportanre had transpired during the past week. The House has not yet acted on the Postage Bill of the Senaio, although it is undoubtedly of more importance to tho country, than all the other measures before the present Congress. Several efforts have been made to secure the assent of the House to the appropriation for the National Ilond, hut lh-y have all thus far ken unsuccessful. Yet the anion of tins body has been the su jeci of abundant eulogy, with the locofoco pres; because it his evinced more readiness to consult the in l crust of the knot of slaveholders in Teiai, than the interests of those it was designed to represent.The discussion on Annexation still progresses in the Senate. Messrs. Henderson and Colquitt, the first a Minrittippi Wmo and the other a Georgia locofoco, delivered set speeches on the lytli and Will, in favor ot Annexation. They were followed, in order, by Mr. Harrow, of Louisiana, and Mr. Him-moiis, of Rhode Island, who made very earnest and able efforts against Annesation in every shape but more especially agniuil tbcjn.nt rciotutitn of the House. The House was engaged chicily on the Civil and Diplo matic Mill. An amendment was attached to it in Committee of the Whole, as wc anticipated in Hot urday's Journal, pro-viding for an appropriation of Jo.OOO for repairing and $Ur ftX) f..r rpdimi Jmur the Ptcsidcnl' House.

An appropriation (or a new War anil Navy Department, of JUUt-(XXI, was agreed to. An important communication from tlie President was received and reiid in the House, on the subject of the Slave Trade on the coast of Brazil. Tim mesonge was based on a com munication from Henry A. Wise, informing the President that American citizen and Amcrcan vessels were engaged in the slave trnde to a great estent, enimcclcd with British capital ists and brokers. The President denounces in very strong terms this infernal traffic, and expresses the hope that the House will iiuile with him in efforts to suppress il. ftJ ('apt. Polk's Cabinet.
